Revenge Sevenfold

Left alone inside Lu Shen's office, Nian Zhen clenched her fists in anger.

That slut had made her ruin the expensive jade figurine she planned to give as a gift to Lu Shen. Not only that, Nian Zhen had caught her in the act of seducing Lu Shen.

And for the sake of treating that slut's stupid little wound, Lu Shen was even forced to abandon her...

Nian Zhen's eyes became red.

Ever since she and Lu Shen were little, the two of them had always been together.

Nothing could separate them, and anyone who did was immediately taken care of Nian Zhen. Those arrogant sluts who thought they were worthy of Lu Shen were ruthlessly removed; Nian Zhen had the power of her family, wealth, and beauty to make anyone who dared come close to him tuck their tails between their legs and run off.

Even their families had already decided that they were going to be married in the future.

Though it wasn't explicitly stated, the Lus and the Nians knew that it was only a matter of time.

They all knew how distant and reserved Lu Shen was—even his parents had a hard time getting close to him.

So Nian Zhen becoming his childhood friend was already a huge achievement by itself.

So she patiently waited, because she knew that they were destined to be together. After all, she was the best match for Lu Shen. And they had a history, which made her the closest woman by his side.

How could anyone else compare?

When her father had sent her abroad to attend to some family business, Nian Zhen was unwilling to go.

Lu Shen was a man who attracted both bees and butterflies, so if she wasn't by his side, who would keep the trash away from him?

However, she acquiesced to her father's decision in the end. Maybe if she loosened the reins, Lu Shen would come to realize how much he loved her as well.

But to find out, on her return, that Lu Shen actually made a lowly actress his fiancée...

Little by little, Nian Zhen calmed the rage in her heart. What was there to be upset about?

She was the legitimate daughter of the Nians; even from a young age, she rubbed elbows with the most powerful people in the country.

Growing up in that kind of environment, Nian Zhen learned how to smile while stabbing someone in the back at the same time.

Taking care of a tiny trash like Lu Shen's cheap fiancée, Nian Zhen was confident that she could do it in her sleep.

...

In the office of a different company building.

Assistant Ying Yue was about to cry tears of blood when she heard the phone ring for the fiftieth time that day.

"Young master, please..."

Her voice sounded like her last dying breath as she dragged her exhausted body towards the phone.

Receiving the sympathetic glances of her fellow employees, Assistant Ying braced herself and knocked on the office door of the CEO.

Hearing no answer from the other side, she turned the knob and pushed it open.

As expected, CEO Jiang was fast asleep on his desk.

Assistant Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw this. Ever since CEO Jiang took over, this desk had become his second bed.

"CEO Jiang..." she called out softly.

No answer.

The phone rang insistently in her hand again.

"Amitabha, save me," Assistant Ying moaned.

She moved closer, and called the CEO's name again. Her eyes suddenly fell on the desk, where there were dozens of scattered documents.

In particular, her eyes focused on the horribly drawn illustration of a cat at the upper left side of every document, including an important partnership contract.

Assistant Ying nearly committed seppuku.

Amidst her terrified disbelief, she cried out, "CEO Jiang!"

The man with the messy hair finally woke up, blinking up at her sleepily. He only took one look at her and his eyelids began to droop again.

Assistant Ying forgot about the cat and thrusted the ringing phone towards him, like it was a bomb that was about to explode.

The cat drawing would force her to work overtime this week, but not answering this call would cause the entire Ying family line to disappear from the face of the earth. Even their ape ancestor would probably be assassinated.

"CEO Jiang, it's Young Master."

Jiang Xu focused at the phone in her hand, and the bleariness in his eyes immediately disappeared.

He had turned off all the phones in his office so that this little brat wouldn't be able to disturb his sleep, but he found a way to annoy him anyway.

Jiang Xu snatched the phone in her hand and answered it.

"What?" he growled.

Due to the constant disturbance, he could only fall asleep for five minutes before the phone rang again.

"Sleepover."

The voice sounded like an iceberg that learned to talk.
